WEEK 5! We are finally putting our plans into action! We have connected and reached out to the schools, and visited and revised our plans. Instead of doing just a food donation site, Sarah remembered how at her school they participated in a sock drive during the month of October, called “Socktober”. We have reached out and asked if we could hold it this year. We think this is a cool twist on the original idea, and it also contributes to the entire goal of the project: helping others. On Wednesday (10/27) we will start Socktober and it will run until next friday (11/5). This week in genius hour we are making posters for the Sock donations, making a google slide presentation for Mrs.McPherson at North to incorporate into her PROWL presentation, and writing the morning announcements for them to use regarding our drive.
We have also made a slight change in the original food drive plan - instead of collecting general food, we are focusing specifically on Thanksgiving foods! The holidays can be especially hard so hopefully we can help donate Thanksgiving meals to families in need. We are asking for:
We are excited to help out our community, and make it a little more personal with our revised plans! Socktober will hopefully be a hit and prepare us for the second drive in mid-november. Feel free to leave any suggestions or ideas you may have, and be sure to follow us on Instagram! Our first post will be coming out soon….STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!!

I am really intersted in how this drive will go. I really like that yall are reaching out and serving the community in the best way possible that you think you can. I also really like how your ideas are coming together, with the food drive remember not to go behind on your dates because that could hurt alot in the end.
